This calibration must take into account several factors, including the ratios of the gears in the drive cable, the final drive ratio in the differential and the diameter of the tires. All of these factors affect the overall speed of the vehicle. Take tire size, for example. When an axle ...
Transmission— Just as it does in a motor vehicle, a helicopter's transmission transmits power from the engine to the main and tail rotors. The transmission's main gearbox steps down the speed of the main rotor so it doesn't rotate as rapidly as the engine shaft. A second gearbox does ...
Does the DAQ system allow you to put this software on your own computer and do all of these same analytical functions? Is it free of charge or are you required to have a paid license or a hardware dongle? Can the software be installed on other computers as well, either for free or wi...
blade in the downwind direction, an effect known as "lift." On the upwind side of the blade, the wind is moving slower and creating an area of higher pressure that pushes on the blade, trying to slow it down. Like in the design of an airplane wing, a high lift-to-drag ratio is ...
Your candle looks gorgeous, but where’s the scent? A poor hot throw (the scent when it’s burning) is often caused by the wrong fragrance ratio, adding fragrance at the wrong temperature, or using a wax that doesn’t hold scent well. ...
Thirty-one participants were enrolled and all had a driver’s license. They comprised 20 men and 11 women, which is consistent with the gender ratio of all drivers in China. In addition, they did not have a mental disorder, a drug addiction, motion sickness, vision problems (normal or cor...
Increase the compression ratio: Higher compression ratios produce more power, up to a point. The more you compress the air/fuel mixture, however, the more likely it is to spontaneously burst into flame (before the spark plug ignites it). Higher-octane gasolines prevent this sort of early com...
What does the 504 Gateway Timeout Error mean? When you try to load a website in your browser, it sends a request to the web server which hosts the site. Usually, the server would return a200 OKstatus code when the request is processed successfully. However, if the server takes too long...

The final-drive ratio is the extent to which the rotating speed of the driveshaft (output) from the gearbox finally reduces before it reaches the driven wheels. If you alter this ratio, it also changes every gear’s effective ratio, affecting the vehicle’s performance andeconomy. Hence, the...
